Weyerhaeuser, “The purpose for the Art Complex Museum is to collect, house, protect, and display beautiful things for the enjoyment of the public.

ABOUT THE MUSEUM

The Art Complex Museum opened its doors in 1971 to share with the public the remarkable collection of Carl A. and Edith Greenleaf Weyerhaeuser, and with the broader goal of serving as a regional arts center with active cultural programming. Carl Weyerhaeuser collected rare books, American paintings, Asian art, works on paper including American and European master prints (such as Rembrandt’s 1654 etching Descent from the Cross by Torchlight), and Shaker furniture and crafts. The ACM collection now totals about 8,000 items, including approximately 1,800 works from the collection of Leland and Paula Wyman and others. Its holdings of modern Japanese ceramics and American landscape painting are particularly renowned. Artists in the American collection include Benjamin West, Thomas Doughty, Sanford Gifford, Jaspar Cropsey, George Inness, Albert Bierstadt, Thomas Moran, Childe Hassam, John Singer Sargent, George Bellows and Charles Burchfield. The Japanese ceramics collection largely comprises tea ceremony vessels and utensils collected in Japan in the 1970s from potters at 13 regional kiln sites, including Hagi, Bizen and several Kyoto potteries; and several other historically important pieces, including an early Raku tea bowl by Chojiro. The museum continues to collect Japanese ceramics, especially works by Japanese women potters. The museum features two large galleries totaling 375 running feet of wall space. The Weyerhaeuser Research Library serves the public, scholars and artists with over 8,000 titles, including rare books and manuscripts and artists’ books. The ACM maintains an active, year-round calendar of exhibitions, art classes and workshops, lectures and gallery talks, concerts, and family and adult programs. The beautiful wooded 13-acre campus includes an authentic Japanese teahouse where traditional tea ceremonies are offered in summer, an outdoor sculpture garden, and the historic Judah Alden House, where art classes and small student/faculty exhibitions are held.

Admission is free, and the ACM is open year-round. The Modernist wood facility was designed by the ACM’s first director Ture Bengtz and architect Richard Owen Abbott. Current Director Charles Weyerhaeuser (BFA, Boston Museum School) is the son of the founders and has served as Director since 1974. The staff of 12 is devoted and mainly long-serving. The Board of Directors comprises 10 members, several of whom are Weyerhaeuser family members. The strong family role in the governance of the museum ensures the continuation of the public-serving legacy of the founders. The ACM is endowed and financially secure; consequently, the Collections Curator is asked to do only passive donor cultivation for collection gifts, not active fundraising or grant-writing.
